One thought on “July Books

  1. I don’t believe anybody has sent death threats to the Puppies; they’ve lied about everything else, so I don’t trust them to not lie about this.

    Meanwhile, personally I am starting to lean towards No Awarding everything and sorting it out in the retro Hugos because of the Puppy taint. How can I vote for best novel when only two out of five candidates are there on merit?
